I’m looking for timetables (if not available then frequency and route description) for the following routes:
GNE (Pink Panther) D4 Durham - Arnison Centre. I have a route map of it, but no timetable.
Kimberley Coaches/Tyne Blue Line X63 Hexham to Metrocentre (I believe). I have the 603 timetable.
St George’s Travel - C1/C2 Washington circulars?
Redby - 535 when it competed with 35?
Redby/Wearside Bus Compang. 394 when did this run to Newcastle? The TWPTE timetables just have it Heworth - Washington, but photos also show it in Newcastle.
Queries:
Aside for the 394 (except Redby routes) did the Wearside Bus Company run any other services?
Does anyone have a list of the routes ran by Calvary Coaches as well? I’ve got timetables for 294, 297, and Waterside in the TWPTE guides.
Thanks in advance.
The only one I can answer with any certainty.
For a period in the early 90s, they ran an hourly service which competed with the 194.
If I remember right, it was numbered the 13. It was scheduled to pick up outside Biddick and St Roberts dead on kicking out time.
Wear Buses as it was at the time, whacked an Optare Metrorider in front of it as a spoiler 194.
I'm sure the shortlived Barnwell to Newcastle 191 was the legacy.
